hello Bill, Ok. Plese post what to do to run PulseAudio in system wide mode. I beleive you posted this a while backi, but some thinggs could of changed. the last time i tried this, speech was still choppy and i was unable to hear speakup after using gnome until a couple of seconds later. so I was lead to beleive that the card was busy or the stream was interrupted some how.
